The role of calcium in bone health is well-documented, and adequate calcium intake as part of a healthy diet, coupled with physical activity, may reduce the risk of developing osteoporosis. Magnesium also supports several key components of bone maintenance, improving bone mineralization by enhancing osteoblast and reducing osteoclast activity. 1 In individuals with low magnesium status, magnesium intake improves bone mineralization during skeletal development, which could help maintain bone health later in life. 1 Magnesium also helps maintain proper muscle function, including heart muscle, as well as normal electrolyte balance and the body's ability to metabolize nutrients. Cal Mag Liquid provides calcium and magnesium in the form of calcium carbonate and magnesium hydroxide, which neutralize stomach pH as antacids. 2
Specifically, they are used for the relief of heartburn, indigestion, and upset stomach associated with excess stomach acid. 3
